Minted’s Fundraising Program

November 25, 2022

**Website: https://www.minted.com/holiday

**Code: FUNDRAISECARNATION

 

 

Holiday cards and photo gifts are always on people’s minds this time of year! We have partnered with Minted to offer everyone who uses our code FUNDRAISECARNATION a 20% discount, and every purchase made with this code generates a 15% discount back to your CEPTSA.

 

 

Not only are they offering this code to us permanently (think all your purchases all year long!) but they are committed to inclusion by opening their marketplace to all artists and to sustainability with nearly all recyclable packaging.

 

 

 

They go above and beyond in quality! We love Minted and their mission, and hope that you will too!

Reflections Deadline is Coming

October 13, 2022
The Reflections deadline (next Wednesday the 19th!) is just around the corner, but it’s not too late for your tiger to create their masterpiece! Remember, this program is open to all skill levels. Creativity and interpretation of the theme are the most heavily weighted criteria – not technique or production quality! No need for fancy equipment or materials. Not into drawing or painting? They can record a song or dance with their school device, use an app like iMovie to make a short film, take a little photo walk with a grown up and their phone camera, write a poem, create 3D art with some legos, or jewelry with their bead kit! The possibilities are endless! How students interpret the theme, “Show Your Voice”, is completely up to them. We can’t wait to see what their imagination unleashes!
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Elizabeth and Rachel at CEPTSAreflections@gmail.com
